includes renovations at University Hospital (UH) creating creation of an automated core laboratory
and other critical laboratory and support spaces. Innovation drives this project, which affects about
186,000 gross square feet and will drive positive trends related to growth, expenses, and opportunities
for collaboration. When fully functional, new laboratories will transform the patient experience
and produce better outcomes.
